2013 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

A RECALL WAS SENT OUT FOR THE ALTERNATOR, I TRIED SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET THE WORK DONE AND THEY NEVER HAD THE PART. RECENTLY I WAS OUT DRIVING THE CAR AND IT SHUTOFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. I HAD TO CALL THE TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT WAS INOPERABLE. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP DID THEIR DIAGNOSIS THEY NOTIFIED ME AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND IT CAUSED THE BATTERY TO DIE. HE TOLD ME THAT HE WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ALTERNATOR BUT I HAD TO COME OUT OF THE POCKET FOR THE BATTERY. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE BATTERY DIED DUE TO THE BAD ALTERNATOR AND HE STATED THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT STILL INSISTING THAT I PAY FOR THE BATTERY. I CALLED FOR TWO DAYS STRAIGHT TRYING TO CONTACT THE SERVICE MANAGER BUT NO ONE EVER CONTACTED ME. THEREFORE I'M REACHING OUT TO YOUR COMPANY TO FIND OUT IS IT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A BATTERY THAT DIED DUE TO THE ALTERNATOR GOING OUT. THE CAR LIGHTS CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THE GAUGES CONTINUED TO GO IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS EVEN WHEN THE TOW COMPANY TOWED THE CAR. THE BATTERY THAT WAS IN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED DIRECTLY FROM DODGE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME?

MY 2013 DODGE CHARGER RT (5.7L V8) STARTING MAKING A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE RUNNING. WHEN ACCELERATING THE NOISE BECAME LOUDER.

THE NEXT DAY ATTEMPTING THE DRIVE THE CAR, THE NOISE CONTINUED AND SEVERAL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ONE INCLUDING BRAKE, FRONT CRASH SYSTEM, ETC. AFTER CAR WAS TURNED OFF VEHICLE'S BATTERY DIED. AFTER CHARGING THE BATTERY, CAR STARTED BUT SMOKE AND A STRONG BURNT SMELL STARTED COMING INTO CAR. AFTER OPENING HOOD SMOKE AND A SMALL FLAME WAS VISIBLE SPEWING OUT OF THE ALTERNATOR.
